"A picturesque Grade II Listed early 17th Century village cottage with a secluded south facing garden.

Forge House enjoys an attractive outlook across the classic period cottages positioned in the historic core of Kettleburgh. The popular village has an active local community, together with a recently refurbished pub. The timber framed cottage is Listed Grade II and understood to date from the late 16th early 17th Century.

Within, the accommodation, which displays exposed timbers extends to some 1,751 sq ft and includes a wide central reception hall living room with French doors at the end leading onto the garden. To one side there are the two principal reception rooms and to the other is an open arch leading into the kitchen, adjacent to which is the utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

On the first floor are three bedrooms and a separate bathroom set off a spacious landing. The house benefits from an oil fired central heating system with recently installed condensing boiler.

OUTSIDE

GARDENS

The mature south facing gardens lie principally to the rear of the cottage enclosed by natural hedgerow. They are laid mainly to lawn interspersed with a variety of mature fruit trees and herbaceous beds. There is a large timber store, greenhouse and an area of kitchen garden.
